590 | IFGC Combustion Air and Gas Piping

Sam Dardano. This class addresses the intent to minimize the hazards associated with the use and distribution of highly flammable and explosive fuel gas through fuel-gas piping systems. This class will assist you in being able to identify and locate critical information and to determine compliance of a gas piping system. (sizing/fittings/location/etc.). We will cover sizing, material, and location of combustion air with some actual working problems for you to solve. We will address supplying adequate combustion air to fuel-burning appliances, as insufficient oxygen for CA will result in the formation of carbon monoxide. Energy conservation regulation now requires that homes be more tightly sealed, weather-stripped, and insulated to avoid infiltration of outside air to the interior of the home.
